Dendrimers are a class of highly branched molecules that combine the properties of polymers and small discrete molecules. One classified among the exotic molecules of chemistry, dendrimers have attracted considerable attention in recent years, as their unique host/guest properties and their capability of being functionalized in the periphery as well in the core have led to new materials with a great potential for applications. This volume presents the state of art in this blossoming area, written by pioneers in the fields. Covering the synthetic, supramolecular, stereochemical, host/guest and polymer chemistry of dendritic and hyperbranched molecules, this volume explains both theoretical and practical aspects, including chirality reactivity, mechanism, material properties and biological relevance.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"For those working in the area it will be an essential and valuable resource" (The Alchemist - Chemweb, 13 May, 2002)
"...encompasses both the fundamentals as well as more sophisticated topics..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)
"...a very useful reference...this book will be on the shelves of all chemistry libraries..." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Vol. 42, 2003)
From the Publisher
The authors provide a historical overview, theoretical background, and discussions of the synthesis and applications of dendrimers. The book thus spans organic chemistry and more application-orientated disciplines like material science and pharmaceutical chemistry. The excellent, detailed list of references further increases the value of the book. The optimal presentation of the structural formulas of dendrimerts - highly symmetrical giant molecules - helps the reader understand the sophisticated synthesis quickly.
